In this episode we sit down for a chat with Mark Fitzpatrick, CEO of PeopleKind Group. Mark has an extensive career working in the disability sector, including roles as Deputy President of the Deafness Council and a member of the Executive of the Hearing Health Sector Alliance. This range of experience, along with previous CEO roles at Telethon Speech and Hearing and St Vincent de Paul Society has given Mark a unique perspective on how things can be done differently to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients with disability who have a range of disability and non-disability-related needs.
This philosophy in part drives PeopleKind Group, who are a for-purpose company that act as a parent company for a range of different organisations that provide a range of different services including learning, behaviour support, housing and disability support. By taking this approach, PeopleKind Group are able to assist clients with multiple needs that they may have. Additionally, Mark discussed the importance of collaboration with others in the sector to ensure that client care remained person-centred regardless of the client’s needs.
Mark also touched on the work that PeopleKind do with people who have had justice system involvement through Outcare, as well as providing us his thoughts on the NDIS in its current form.

Episode 124 - Abortion Decision Making with Dr Dorinda 't Hart [Women's Health Series]
We continue our women’s health series with a chat with Dr Dorinda ‘t Hart from the School of Population and Global Health at UWA.
Dorinda has a background in sociology originally, with her PhD focussing on post-abortion narratives of women who had an abortion in Western Australia since 1998 when abortions were fully legalised in the state.
Dorinda talks us through her PhD research and covers many aspects of the decision-making process that women who choose to proceed with an abortion go through before reaching their final decision. This includes what female bodily autonomy actually means, the relationship between motherhood and abortion, the pre-conditions that many women feel they need to meet to proceed with a pregnancy, and the role that their partners and other family members may play in helping them to reach their final decision.
To finish, Dorinda gives us some key findings that may assist people working with women facing a decision about whether to proceed with, or terminate a pregnancy, and how they may best support them during that process.
